Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Cyril sat at his desk in the office, his gaze fixed on Hazel’s face, as if searching for something unusual.

Today, Hazel hadn’t challenged him as she usually did. She had put away her sharp edges and appeared somewhat different. Cyril had noticed this change earlier, but he was only addressing it now.

“Hazel, it seems you’ve been keeping something from me,” Cyril’s gaze became sharp.

Hazel looked at Cyril, and he appeared on the brink of anger. She stood quietly beside him. She knew that once she revealed this information, another confrontation between them was imminent. This man had his principles.

“In fact, after I returned to the town, I found some notes under my pillow,” Hazel said, knowing that this matter should be handled by Cyril because he was the Alpha of The Iron Star Pack.

Cyril raised his head, his expression far from pleasant. He didn’t know how many more things Hazel had concealed.

“Why didn’t you mention this before? It’s crucial,” Cyril said sharply. They had been working hard to find clues, and Hazel had received notes, but she had never mentioned them.

“At first, I thought it was just a prank by someone. I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so I didn’t hide it intentionally,” Hazel explained sternly. When she had just returned, Ada and the others had taunted her, which they were good at. She had assumed that the notes were some petty act by Ada or Jay.

But after Bessie’s death, things had taken a strange turn, making Hazel think the notes might be related.

“Does Theo know about this?” Cyril suddenly brought up Theo. He needed to make sure.

As the Beta, Theo should report everything. If he knew and didn’t report it, it would be a dereliction of his duties.

“Hey, Cyril, this has nothing to do with my brother. He has no idea about this,” Hazel said, placing her hands on Cyril’s desk. She knew Cyril would be angry, but this matter had nothing to do with Theo.

“Hazel, you should be grateful he doesn’t know,” Cyril said, standing up. He chuckled. If Theo had known about this and hadn’t told him, Theo’s position as Beta would be in jeopardy.

“Where are those notes now?” Cyril bellowed. If someone could quietly enter The Iron Star Pack without anyone noticing, take Hazel’s ring from her drawer, and possibly take the notes as well, that was a significant concern.

Bessie’s death was destined, but the person orchestrating it had to be found, or it would become a potential threat. Cyril couldn’t allow any threats within his Pack.

“I kept them in a box, well-hidden,” Hazel immediately explained. She was certain that she had placed the box in a secure location where no one could find that inconspicuous box.

“Take me to your home,” Cyril demanded, his expression serious.

Hazel nodded, and they made their way to her house. She realized the seriousness of the situation, and Cyril’s involvement was necessary.

Cyril and Hazel entered her house through the window in the backyard, bypassing the front door. This saved valuable time, getting them to their destination as quickly as possible.

“I’ll show you.” Hazel walked over to her bookshelf, took some books down, and placed them on the table. Then, she began searching for the box.

Cyril moved around her room, a stark contrast to Hazel’s style. Her appearance and her inner self were quite different. He hadn’t forgotten the main purpose of his visit, and when Hazel sat in her chair looking worried, Cyril suspected that the box containing the notes might have disappeared.

“I remember placing it behind the second-to-last book on the third shelf of the bookcase. I’m sure I didn’t make a mistake,” Hazel said, touching her forehead, her memory clear.

Cyril continued to search the bookshelf but still found no sign of any box. He stood in place, suspecting that the box might have been taken by the person who had infiltrated Hazel’s room.

“Hazel, if you learned to obey the Alpha’s orders, things wouldn’t have turned out this way,” Cyril said sharply. He didn’t know how much longer it would take for Hazel to understand this.

“Cyril, these two things are unrelated,” Hazel said, stunned, looking at Cyril with surprise.

“We’ve lost a clue, and you could be in danger at any time,” Cyril’s voice grew deeper. He simply didn’t want anyone in the Pack to be under any threat.

Cyril knew that when he took over the new Pack, there would inevitably be some issues, but this clearly had nothing to do with the people in the small town.

“Call Theo,” Cyril analyzed the situation carefully. He needed to make all the necessary arrangements now that there was a mysterious person in the small town. He couldn’t afford to sit back and do nothing.

Hazel called out for Theo in the room. Theo rushed over from his room and opened Hazel’s door. When he saw Cyril in Hazel’s room, his brain seemed to stop working for a moment. His Alpha and his sister were in the same room, what was happening?

“Alpha,” Theo spoke respectfully, despite having many questions in his mind. He couldn’t directly ask his Alpha, nor did he have the right to inquire about everything his Alpha did.

“Tell your brother what happened,” Cyril sat on Hazel’s bed, silently listening to Hazel recount the events of receiving the notes.

“That’s the whole story,” Hazel concluded with a sigh. She didn’t overlook the surprise in Theo’s eyes.

“So, the box with the notes just vanished like that?” Theo’s brows furrowed. He had also realized the severity of the situation. Someone had broken into his sister’s room without anyone noticing.

“We couldn’t find it at all. The entire room has been turned upside down,” Hazel said, looking at the messy room. She had confirmed the box’s location in the morning, but when she returned, it had disappeared, which was incredibly eerie.

While the three of them were discussing, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Eloise’s voice came from outside.

“Darling, are you there?” Eloise asked.

Hazel quickly went to open the door, and when Eloise saw the people in the room, she felt her presence might be a bit redundant for the first time.

“Alpha, Theo.”

How could someone tell her why the Alpha was here?

“Eloise, how do you have this?” Hazel exclaimed, her gaze fixed on Eloise’s hand.

Cyril and Theo followed Hazel’s gaze towards Eloise, who was holding a small wooden box in her right hand.

“I found this outside your house, and it has your name carved on it,” Eloise placed the box on the table.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“My name?” Hazel’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion. She was sure it was an unmarked box, so how could it possibly have her name on it?

Cyril exchanged a glance with Hazel, then picked up the box for a closer examination. Indeed, the bottom of the box had Hazel’s name carved on it.

“It does have your name,” Cyril presented the bottom of the box with Hazel’s name to everyone. Hazel clenched her lower lip. If the box didn’t originally have her name, it meant that someone had carved the name and left it at her doorstep for Eloise to bring back.

Eloise began to feel a chill. The way Cyril and Theo were looking at her was quite suspicious, as if they were catching a thief. What was going on?

Eloise kept silently praying to the Moon Goddess for protection. Could she have accidentally stumbled upon some confidential information?

“Isn’t this your box? I thought it was yours when I picked it up,” Eloise responded truthfully. She had no interest in a small box, and Cyril’s presence here made her feel pressured.

“It’s my box. Thank you so much, dear,” Hazel expressed her gratitude to Eloise. “By the way, why did you come to find me?”

“I ran into Putnam on the way. He actually came back!” Eloise blurted out, completely forgetting who was in the room with her.

Eloise’s words made Hazel and Theo simultaneously furrow their brows, and Cyril’s expression became even darker and more mysterious. This was the second time he had heard that name today.
